Calrissian, having been promoted to general, would lead the fighter assault.[1] In preparations for the battle, Vees was offered an assignment in the rear guard but turned it down in order to work on Calrissian's starship,[2] the Millennium Falcon, borrowed from Rebel General Han Solo, who was leading the Endor ground assault team.[1]

Vees,[2] like Calrissian,[3] was a gambler.[2] When Calrissian left Cloud City in order to escape the Imperial occupation,[3] Vees followed him, joining the Rebel Alliance. Later, when Vees was offered a position in the rear guard, he turned it down in favor of working on Calrissian's vessel. Vees served the Alliance as a dock mechanic, working on the weapons systems of starfighters,[2] and could operate a holoprojector. During the briefing before the Battle of Endor, Vees wore a headset while operating the holoprojector. He was light-skinned and had brownhair.[1]
